Founder

A passionate Easton local, Campbell founded The Baffled King in 2023. Inspired by his mother, who owned three French restaurants over the years, Campbell developed a deep appreciation for good food and wine. With over a decade of experience in the wine industry, he helps the team to hand select our frequently changing wine list. Moving to Easton in 2017, he says the area is blessed with a community spirit he hasn’t seen anywhere else and he enjoys playing pool at The Plough.

Head Chef

Luke carries a wealth of experience in the kitchen, previously playing a key role in building the Bank Tavern’s reputation. With a deep admiration for renowned French chefs, including Michel Roux and Pierre Koffmann, Luke’s passion for French cuisine has helped him add fresh, imaginative dishes to our menu. A proud Bristol resident for 20 years, Luke is an avid amateur mycologist and a motorcycle enthusiast, but admits he’s a terrible mechanic. At least his culinary skills more than make up for it!

Front of House Manager

Maorie is from Montreal, where she grew up in a family that valued great food and wine.  She graduated with a degree in fashion design but has spent her years since graduation travelling the world. She met her partner Stan in Vietnam and they recently moved back to his hometown, Bristol!  Lucky for us.  She loves the bistro culture of the Baffled King and learns something from our chef, Luke, every day.
